I have played Ticket to Ride : Europe between 35 and 50 times with the same group of 3 - 5 players and tonight was the first time in a long time we had a conflict. At the end of the game I played a train station to complete a route and didn't have the station touching one of my legs. The argument was that we "NEVER" played that way before. SO. . . . out came the rules. The rules were read and read and read and read OUT LOUD. Guess what we have been playing it wrong.
Admittedly, we normally go through a game and never use train stations. Tonight just happened to be a game changer. No one accused me of cheating but there were some folks really questioning if I was playing by the rules.
I suggest that you should about once a year read the rules of your favorite game again. It might just be that you have some rule that you are playing with that actually is not in the rules or that you are playing wrong. Maybe not but it is worth checking out. If anything, just to make sure there are no hurt feelings.
